| These are the longest days
|
| I’ve ever known,
|
| groan out of my bed,
|
| look at my watch, too soon,
|
| Too much daylight leads to
|
| A night life and the fear
|
| Of another day that’s going
|
| To last four or five years,
|
| Now I know how it all shakes,
|
| Do you feel that way too?
|
| Now I know how it all breaks,
|
| Are you feeling that way too?
|
| Saw the sorrow in your eyes,
|
| Saw your whole world turning around,
|
| And the mess we got ourselves in,
|
| It’s taken that time will tell,
|
| Well it’s taken it’s taken it’s toll on me,
|
| Still I know the hand of love
|
| Isn’t just the hand of mercy
|
| There’s a gap you can’t ignore,
|
| When your heart’s so far away,
|
| The aching and the stretching out
|
| On the rack of another day
|
| Well hope was the worst thing
|
| I could get from anyone,
|
| So take these days away
|
| And bring me the shortest ones. |
